Storm

Have you ever HEARD
a rainstorm coming? A blustery purple day, a damp sidewalk, and a sound
like a diesel engine roaring up the street behind m. I
turned around and saw a wall of grey, and the howling began - the wind moaned
along the electrical wires with a sound stripped from grade-school books ghost
stories- throbbing purple "ah-hooooo" sound and I was
drenched - just like that - raindrops the size of 50-cent coins sparking and
bouncing off my skin like hail.

About Me

I am an Australian architect, married to a Canadian who followed me home.
In September 2011 we relocated from rural South Australia to the bustling metropolis of Santiago, Chile, where it's warmer than Canada, but less insect-y than Australia.
How's that for a compromise?
